• Too many unorganized details and in many cases, valueless
  I have decided with my team to read this book and set in 4 sessions to discuss the 8 chapters, and we agreed to summarize each chapter to highlight the most important information.

• Good info for Establishing a PMO

  I am trying to set up a project office for my small team, and this book is tremendous! Glad I purchased it rather than others with the "same" information. It contains everything I need and then some. Very thorough with info and suggestions.

• Detailed advice on PMO implementation
  First I would like to warn you that this is one of the last books I have read on PMOs so I might be slightly biased compared to someone for whom it is the first book on the subject.
  This book provides a very (maybe too) detailed guide regarding a PMO implementation. Nothing really new is presented, but it provides some useful tips such as table of contents for the base and detailed business case, overcoming resistance. It presents three PMO models: standards, knowledge or consulting organization.
